MIDDLE ISRAEL: Regardless of its safety hazards, the Mount Meron jamboree is a pagan perversion of Judaism.
The New Jersey families of Elazar Yitzahk Koltai, 13, and Donny Morris, 19, are seeking NIS 3.5 million each in damages from the authorities that had overseen the holy site at the time of Lag BaOmer
In line with recommendations of the Meron Committee, one central bonfire will be light at the tomb, with additional bonfires for religious study.
Haredi MK Meir Porush resigned from his role as supervisor of the Lag B’Omer Meron celebrations earlier on Tuesday.
While Lag Ba'omer is five months away, the committee members wrote that they felt the matter was urgent and brought it to Netanyahu's attention.
